My studio is located in the artist village at the ArtWorks and open established hours or by appointment. I paint to discover— to fully observe, explore, and connect with the world. I am inspired to capture familiar and intimate moments with simplicity and directness. I particularly like finding beauty in ordinary subjects. I am attracted to all themes but especially those that convey some sense of mystery or reminiscence. Thus, you will discover vintage architecture and objects, concealed places, shadows and palpable mood as part of my work. I work primarily in metal, oil and watercolor. My artistic goals are to interpret the spirit of the moment, to bring more abstraction into my work, and to use imagery that awakens personal memories in my viewer.
